He was born in the Caribbean island of Trinidad in 1942 from parents whose ancestors had migrated as indentured labourer from India. He is a graduate of the Aleemiyah Institute in Karachi and has studied at sevaral instutions of higher learning including the University of Karachi,the University of the West Indies, Al Azhar University and the Graduate Institute of International Relations in Switzerland.
...
He has traveled continuously and extensively around the world on Islamic lecture-tours since graduating from the Aleemiyah Institute of Islamic Studies in 1971 at age 29. And he has also written more than a dozen books on Islam that have invariably been received with public respect. Indeed, 'Jerusalem in the Qur'an - An Islamic View of the Destiny of Jerusalem' has become a best seller and has been translated and published in several languages.
Great Scholar... very few like him in the modern world. I have learned a lot from his books and lectures, especially about the deceptions and the reality of the modern world under the light of Quran and Hadith. May Allah (swt) bless us with more scholars like him so they help us see beyond the deceptions of the modern world.
I watched his video "Jerusalem in the Quran" where he was very adamant that the proper punishment for adultery is only 100 lashes like for fornication instead of stoning. He seems to speak almost too much about future events (prophetically) that would be known only to Allah (swt). I had ordered several of his books from Malaysia, but I haven't read any of them after watching his DVD and hearing his stance on adultery. These are merely my thoughts and Allah (swt) knows best.

one statement doesn't put all his speech into error. Maybe you can try emailing him at www.imranhosein.org

I am no scholar, but what he very clearly and emphatically said directly contradicts my understanding of the issue. This is a very important point for a scholar to know and should not teach others wrongly. If you agree with what he said, then you are welcome to listen to him, but as for me that was enough that I do not trust him. Perhaps you would like to convince me that the proper punishment for adultery is not stoning and that 100 lashes is according to the sunnah.
What do you think about his ideas that Dajjal will come in a fifty-years (our children will see him),
that soon, Israel will replace USA as the ruling State in the world
that Gog and Magog are released...
Are you agreeing with his ideas. ?

Asalaam O Alaikum...
We all know that for unmarried couples it is lashes and not stoning. But for married couples who commit adultery outside their marriage it is stoning. Period.
My question to you brother is that did he say that stoning for adultery committed by married couples is not in Shariah ? If he said this then can you show me the video and what part does he say it in, i would appreciate it. Jazak Allah khayr.
About his book "Jerusalem in the Quran" you can read it from his website. I have that book and read it a few times, and never had he mentioned such a thing in it.
Better to read his books and figure out whether what he says is true or no. If you ask others then some would agree and some would disagree and you will not be able to judge from people's opinions.
I have heard most of his talks - and indeed, he is very learned and has contemplated on the meaning of this dunya, and the signs of Qiyamat extensively - Alhamdulillah.
Initially, I was completely sold on his theory of Gog and Magog (i.e. having already been released into the world.)
From the manner in which he explains and interprets the related ahadith - it all made very good sense.
But:
With further reading, attending further courses on this matter, listening to other scholars.....you will realise that this can not be true.
This is not the place to discuss Gog and Magog here......but for me, this has made me realise that we really need to wary of where we take our deeni knowledge.
Having said that, when I listen to Sheikh Imran Hosein - I hear someone with a good heart, someone who is genuinely concerned for this ummah.
And EVERYBODY makes mistakes.
Some bigger than others.
So - I think in cases like this - where he has merely expressed his own personal opinions and interpretations on the signs (he has not issued some sort of fatwa) - we should insha Allah, cut the guy some slack......
(Perhaps, we can write to him (for those who posess more knowledge on the matter) - and raise these concerns as well).
And make it our duty to VERIFY, VERIFY, VERIFY.
The truth is out there - for those who wish to SEEK it.
(with regards to the lashes vs stoning for adultery - i am not aware of this either. If possible, please link us to this talk. JazakAllah khair).
Sheikh Imran Hosein is a great scholar, one of a very few who are in the times
His views on the Dajjal system and various other issues are fascinating as they really do make you think outside the box
I'd recommend anyone to check out his lectures on YouTube, don't be put off by self righteous nutters who question him and his theories, which are backed up by Quran and Sunnah
Watch and make up your own mind

Salaam brother... actually not every one questions him because they are against him, but some question more just to know the truth and understand it better. Thats all.
Asalaam O Alaikum...

Wa alaikum assalam, that is my understanding as well.

Yes, he spent a good bit of time talking about this. Again he was very strong in his stance. I watched it on the DVD in the blue case of the 2-dvd set "Jerusalem in the Quran" http://store.dar-us-salam.com/M_DVDs/MD48.html
What do you think about his ideas that Dajjal will come in a fifty-years (our children will see him),
that soon, Israel will replace USA as the ruling State in the world
that Gog and Magog are released...
Are you agreeing with his ideas. ?
Who knows what the future holds except Allah? We can observe the signs today such as competition in building tall buildings to know we are getting closer, but is anyone really able to put a specific date to anything that will happen in the future except that he gets his info from a jinn? He sounds like a soothsayer to me like Nostradamus. This site is an interesting read for going to someone who predicts the future http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Horoscope_in_Islam

Ive not come across a lecture where the Sheikh has stated a specific date of Dajjal's arrival but if he has, its just a prediction (No different from me predicting Team A will beat Team B)
I do agree with Majority of the Sheikhs opinions, The Israehellis are the army of Dajjal so it makes sense they will become the ruling state of the world.. The Gog ma Gog theory the Sheikh has put forward is interesting and insightful, it all adds up in light of Quran and Sunnah
" Prediction of Revolution 2011 by Sheikh Imran Hosein revealed in 2003 ".
You can find it on youtube.
Amazing, no !?
This point reinforces my comment about him being a soothsayer. You may listen to him if you want to, but as for me I will not read any of his books that I have already purchased nor watch anymore of his videos.
Narrated 'Aisha: I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "The angels descend, the clouds and mention this or that matter decreed in the Heaven. The devils listen stealthily to such a matter, come down to inspire the soothsayers with it, and the latter would add to it one-hundred lies of their own." (Bukhari book 54 hadith 432)
Narrated 'Aisha: Some people asked the Prophet regarding the soothsayers. He said, "They are nothing." They said, "O Allah's Apostle! Some of their talks come true." The Prophet said, "That word which happens to be true is what a Jinn snatches away by stealth (from the Heaven) and pours it in the ears of his friend (the foreteller) with a sound like the cackling of a hen. The soothsayers then mix with that word, one hundred lies." (Bukhari Book #93, Hadith #650)
